    Zoo med excavator?

    So I was pouring over the DIY forums on making hides, because I like making stuff and I don't wanna spend a ton of money. Then I saw an add for this online, Zoo Med Excavator. In a display snake tank (or maybe even tubs?), do you think this would work for a ball?

    BPs aren't really natural burrowers. They mostly take over abandoned burrows and termite mounds left by other animals.

    Plus, my BPs tend to poop inside their hides...how would you clean that with this set up?

    I wouldn't use it with BP's seems like a nightmare to keep clean.

    The video states for dry climates, not good for humidity.

    Sorry, I should clarify. I meant using it just for hides, not for them to burrow in. But I did miss the dry climate part, so nevermind
